The main difference between the two is that Web Role runs with IIS support, while a Worker Role does not.

For example, a Webrole is a web application that will perform an operation that has no returns, and do not necessarily have low latency. Has a endpoint to be launched via HTTP, but there is concern about timeout of the IIS.

The same with Worker Role, but this is like a Console application, you don’t need IIS to run, so there is no endpoint for him and nor concern for timeout.
